Hidden spinal problem may be causing falls leading to broken hips

NCT ID NCT06893406

Summary

This study aims to find out how many older adults who break a hip from a simple fall might have an undiagnosed spinal cord condition called cervical myelopathy. Researchers will screen 75 hip fracture patients with a physical exam and questions. If signs of the condition are found, patients will be offered an MRI scan to confirm it, which could lead to treatment to help prevent future falls.
